About Paul Buono:

I have always known that my sole purpose in life is to help guide others. Training for the CrossFit Games was just the outlet I needed to teach me the valuable life lessons I’ve learned in order to share with others. The path I have chosen to help contribute is through nutrition, training, and wellness. Fueling myself properly with the right quality and quantity of foods has allowed me to reach some of the goals that others told me were impossible. It is now my passion to give others the same gifts that I have learned on my journey. I am here to help inspire, motivate and give the gift of confidence to whoever is willing to work for it. Through training and nutrition, I have found a better lifestyle and person beneath my top layer.
